Chapter Text
Years have passed since peace was made between Mewmans and Monsters. Solidified by Queen Meteora, daughter of Queen Eclipsa and King Globgor. Princess Star had been made a new wand by Glossaryck, so she could aid when and if needed. She married Prince Tom Lucitor of the underworld. Now, the youngest princess of the Butterfly family, Izumi who shared much resemblance to her great-great-grandmother Meteora. Her father also being a Size-shifter, King Ikou may have seemed to be the one to watch out for, but in reality, it was Queen Toshiko. Queen Toshiko was a fierce warrior, with the royal magic wand taking the form of a sword, not much dissimilar to the old Queen Solaria, but no one spoke of her these days, her regime too dark and gruesome to think of. When Princess Izumi was born, her green curls and cheeks dusted with freckles captured the hearts of all, her small horns and tail just added to her cuteness.
“Hello, baby.” Ikou smiled softly as his daughter, Izumi giggled reaching for her father, He lifted her up. “Who’s the cuteness little princess in Mewnie?” He smiled, Izumi giggled happily. Toshiko chuckled going over and kissing his cheek. Ikou smiled and pulled her into a family hug.
“Are we intruding?” A voice asked, Ikou turned.
“Mitsuki, good to see you.” Ikou beamed, she was holding her own son, Katsuki who was currently trying to chew her arm to escape her grasp.
“This one, is a little terror.” Mitsuki sighed, Katsuki grumbled, but stopped in his work when seeing Izumi, he looked up and reached of her. “And of course the prince wants the princess.”
The royals placed their children to play in a play pen as they sat down for tea and to catch up. Katsuki and Izumi began chasing each other’s tails.
“They are so cute at that age.” Toshiko smiled.
“Yeah, wait until she starts walking up walls.” Mitsuki smiled.
“It’s not fun.” Masaru sighed.
“I am can figure, but we will handle it. Isn’t Queen Pony head expecting her child this month too?” Ikou asked
“Oh, yes. I heard so, when she does we’ll have to arrange more play dates. Our child being childhood friends will have a bigger bond between kingdoms when they final take over.” Mitsuki nodded. She looked over at the kids and began giggling. The others looked, Izumi had caught Katsuki’s tail and was sucking on it, Katsuki had done the same.
“Oh dear.” Toshiko giggled.
~*~*~*~
At the age of three, Princess Izumi Butterfly of Mewnie, Prince Katsuki Lucitor of the underworld and Princess Mina Pony head of Cloud kingdom had an official play date. Mina had quickly called them horn buddies. Izumi laughed touching her horns, which were the smallest of the trio.
“You’re horns will grow, and they will be awesome.” Mina smiled. “I wish I had a tail though, I could do what you two do.” She was referring to how their tails would wrap around each other, it was a form of comfort for the both of them.
“It’s okay Pony, we can have our own form of it, like a secret hand shake, but with our horns.” Katsuki said, the trio put their heads together, so their horns were touching, they began laughing at the weirdness of it all.
“We’re still going to be best friends forever, right?” Izumi asked, Mina nodded excited.
“Of course, we are going to be a great force of magic!” Mina declared, giggling, Katsuki scoffed.
“I am already a great force of magic, look!” Katsuki was able to make a small explosion on his hands. By the time they were 2-years old, Izumi and Katsuki already showed a great infinity for magic.
“So cool Katsuki! I can do this…Oof..” Izumi fell onto her bottom when she created a small butterfly, the 4-year-olds watched it fly off with wide eyes.
“That is good Mimi!” Katsuki beamed
“You two are so good, I am still learning, but I’ll get there!” Mina declared.
“Yeah!” Izumi cheered happily.
“You should name that spell!” Katsuki said
“Oh, Katty’s right, name it Mimi!” Mina nodded.
“Um, Butter-fly-free.” Izumi said, she giggled as another butterfly appeared and fluttered off.
“Oh, Let’s go and show your mom!” Mina laughed, Katsuki and Izumi ran after her.
“Hang on Minny!” Izumi giggled.
~*~*~*~
The years passed for the friends, they grew up. Around lessons and adventures, the friends remained close, working on spells together, Izumi and Katsuki learning to Dip Down pretty early.
“Okay, one more time, with feeling!” Katsuki said, Izumi took a deep breath, Katsuki and Mina stood back with Glossaryck, who watched with interest. Queen Toshiko was making her way down to the courtyard where they were practicing. She stopped next to Glossaryck, as she watched her 10-year-old daughter’s cheeks lit up.
“Butterfly guard!” She said, a swarm of butterflies surrounded her. “Now, try!”
“Right,” Katsuki nodded. “Phoenix Fire!” Katsuki yelled, his own cheeks glowing, a blast of fire formed into a phoenix and surround the butterfly shield. Katsuki watched worried, until the flames vanished, leaving the Butterfly shield unharmed. “It worked!” He called, Izumi let the spell go and giggled.
“That was a powerful shield, dear.” Toshiko smiled, Izumi turned.
“Mother.” She smiled and ran over.
“Can I speak to you for a bit my dear, it is important.” Toshiko asked, Izumi looked back at her friends, Katsuki gave her a serious nod, she assumed he must have had the talk meaning… it was about the royal magic wand.
“Okay.” She nodded, she followed after her mother.
~*~*~*~
Toshiko lead her daughter to what she knew as the Grandma room. Izumi looked around, Skywynne, Jushtin, Solaria, Eclipsa, Festiva, Dirhhennia, Crescenta, Rhina, Celena, Estrella, Comet, Moon, Star, Meteora, Arata, Amaya, Mamkio, Shiko, Sunako, Yori, Nana and Toshiko. Izumi looked towards her mother, Toshiko looked up at the tapestry of her mother. Queen Nana, Izumi approached and looked at the pedestal.
Queen Nana the Unyeilding
The ancient scorned,
to Mewnie returned
To claim the throne and wand.
To lose to the final spell cast,
From Nana the Unyielding.
Izumi frowned, before quickly looking at her own mother’s pedestal.
Queen Toshiko the Righteous
The demon from the darkness,
Whom ravaged Mewman homes,
A shining star fought them off,
And peace was at once restored.
“Mother?” Izumi asked. “This about the wand, isn’t it?”
“Yes, has Katsuki told you what was said to him?” Toshiko turned to her.
“Yes, but I am assuming it will be different, as the wands are different.” Izumi replied.
“That is true.” She helped up the wand. “Of course it changes to suit the one who holds it. This wand, has seen a lot, been through a lot. And with you, it will do and see many great things. On your 14th birthday, I shall give you the wand, and the magic book of spells. From there, you shall be training in spells written by myself and the old queens.”
“Will I be able to write spells in there too?” Izumi asked
“Of course!” You can write whatever you want in the book. Most Queens wrote diaries, so you can have a look into their lives and what they faced. They give a lot of helpful advice.” Toshiko smiled. She took her daughters hands and smiled softly. “It may be hard, and you may have worries, but please remember, you can always talk to me, or even Glossaryck, he has been with all the Queens, even those before Skywynne.”
“I will remember, thank you Mother.” Izumi smiled.
“Always my dear, why don’t go you back to the others. Your Butterfly shield is your first true spell, you should be proud.” Toshiko kissed her forehead.
“Thank you.” Izumi smiled, the Mother and Daughter left the Grandma room.
